Enology applies expertise from a wide range of disciplines, including microbiology, chemistry, sensory science and process technology to the science of wine and winemaking. The objectives of enological research at Cornell University are to understand and develop methods to control microbiological, chemical and processing variables and their effect on wine quality, organoleptic properties and health. Faculty in this concentration have expertise in...

Cornell University Masters degree Food Science Food Chemistry	Cornell University
Food chemistry is concerned with analytical, biochemical, chemical, physical, nutritional, and toxicological aspects of foods food ingredients. The long-term goals of research in food chemistry are to understand relationships between the structure and functional properties of food molecules and to improve the nutritional, safety and organoleptic aspects of food. Students of food chemistry must have a strong background in the basic sciences and should...

Cornell University Masters degree Food Science Food Microbiology	Cornell University
Microbiology is important to food safety, production, processing, preservation, and storage. Food microbiology students use a wide variety of modern technologies from fields including immunology, microbiology, and molecular biology. Microbes such as yeasts, molds, and bacteria are being used for the production of foods food ingredients. Beneficial microbes are exploited in the fermentative production, processing, and preservation of many foods and...

Cornell University Masters degree Food Science General	Cornell University
Advanced studies in food science (general) provide a broader, more varied education than is possible in the other concentrations. Students who select this concentration should have some previous experience in food science and technology. Students in food science (general) are expected to take courses in food chemistry, food engineering and processing, food microbiology, nutrition, and food marketing as well as in the supporting disciplines and commodity...

Cornell University Masters degree Food Science International Food Science	Cornell University
International food science was established at Cornell in recognition of the need for technically trained people in careers involving the production of new and more nutritious foods, the improvement of food preservation techniques for developing countries, and the organization, implementation, and administration of food development programs. International food science encompasses all phases of the development of foods, including technology, preservation,...
